LOS ANGELES RIVER CENTER & GARDENS WEDDING | LOS ANGELES, CA

LOS ANGELES RIVER CENTER AND GARDENS WEDDING PHOTOS

Dani and Nikki were married after 10 years together in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens close to Downtown LA and Elysian Park.

The couple chose the Los Angeles River Center & Gardens for their LA wedding because its Spanish influenced architecture and garden greenery lended well to their rustic theme.

In addition, they loved the idea of being surrounded by foliage and florals in the midst of Los Angeles, without losing the urban feel of the surrounding city.

Dani and Niki did a great job of tying the rustic Spanish garden theme together with different floral and citrus elements in their centerpieces, chuppah decorations and bouquets. I’ve never seen cut limes used in centerpieces and I was living for it! Another unique element was the bride’s custom designed puzzle piece rings, which the groom had designed from different parts of both of their grandmother’s jewelry.

Enjoy this rustic Los Angeles River Center & Gardens wedding!
